She was injured, she was not able to fight on November 14. I watch all my fights anyway.

“I wish it could have happened when I was younger, so I had more years to enjoy it”, Letourneau told The Province prior to departing for Australia. Fight fans could expect a possible slugfest between Jedrzejczyk and Letourneau as both fighters are known for their striking prowess.
“Don’t get me wrong, UFC 193 is huge”, Costigan said.
In a telephone conversation with UFC.com Brazil, the always friendly “Joanna Champion” changed her tone when talking about Gadelha.
In just a couple of short years, we’ve gone from Dana White claiming that we would “never” see women competing in the octagon to having the biggest UFC attendance of all time for a card without a man to be seen in either the co-main or main event.
“The most important night was when Ronda Rousey debuted in the UFC because it was such a risk for the promotion”.
“Does she think I am scared of being hurt?” It’s many dreams come true: fighting on the same card as Ronda; fighting in Australia; fighting for the title; and fighting Joanna.
“We’ll see who has the most determination”. And people like Megumi Fujii, Shannon Knapp and, even myself, I’d be considered a veteran of the sport.
“I didn’t even shake her hand, that’s the amusing thing”. She’s clean and technical and her power falls right in that nasty sweet spot where you’re not going out from one shot, but you’re getting marked up pretty bad because Jedrzejczyk can pick her spots and keep working them over and over and over.
Tecia Torres (6-0, 2-0 UFC) may be ranked behind Rose Namajunas in the UFC rankings, but since she’s already beaten her, she’s higher up on my list of contenders here. “Valerie is tough so I’d predict a decision victory for Joanna but it could well be a TKO finish for the champion”. Like A LOT. It worked well against Moroz who has very wide, looping punches and none of the speed the champion possesses, but Jedrzejczyk throws arrow-straight and with the quickness, so Letourneau might want to change her approach or just swing for the fences.
I get that every day on my social media, girls asking, “What do I have to do to be a UFC fighter?”

“These years have been so, so frustrating for me because I knew deep inside that I was a great fighter”, added the 8-3 challenger, who began her professional career in March, 2007, and faced future UFC bantamweight standouts (and fellow Canadians) Sarah Kaufman and Alexis Davis in her second and third bouts, respectively. The UFC is different level and, as good as her rangework is, Ronda’s a different animal when she gets a hold of you.
